what antivirus do you have

@hallow cobalt

[hallow cobalt]

its was built in

mcafee

[quasi plinth]

antiviruses usually do it

[wanton bobcat]

McAfee is a virus, not an antivirus

[quasi plinth]

[hallow cobalt]

[quasi plinth]

anyways

dont worry

[hallow cobalt]

i read a reddit review about it

[quasi plinth]

you just need to exclude it from the antivirus

[hallow cobalt]

the guy said he got trojan

from winlibs

[quasi plinth]

or uninstall it

[wanton bobcat]

Use Visual Studio + MSVC instead (this is a serious piece of advice)

[quasi plinth]

hmm

[hallow cobalt]

probably gonna do this one

[crystal torrent]

lmao I'm using mcaffe and it would say that my helloworld project built by me was unsafe, so I disabled the real time scanning

[crystal torrent]

no need to

[quasi plinth]

saem

[crystal torrent]

just know how to use it

[chrome acorn]

Winlibs is fine, your AV is wrong

[pale cypress]

wait really

[quasi plinth]

I am using kaspersky and it does the same thing

[quasi plinth]

yes

[hallow cobalt]

i did vs + msys but

the guy im learning fron

is using codelite + winlibs

[quasi plinth]

that is your first

[hallow cobalt]

so i was having trouble keeping up

[quasi plinth]

mistake

you shouldn't relie

[hallow cobalt]

i did try vs + mys

[chrome acorn]

VSC + MSYS2 you mean?

[quasi plinth]

on the tools they use

[hallow cobalt]

yes

[chrome acorn]

VSC and VS are different

[quasi plinth]

ye

[hallow cobalt]

i meant vsc

[quasi plinth]

VS is a piece of shi VSC is not that bad

[wanton bobcat]

I mean, yes
McAfee fucking sucks

[chrome acorn]

IMO vsc+msys2 is better than codelite+winlibs

[hallow cobalt]

visual studio code

[crystal torrent]

ye lol

[quasi plinth]

yeah

[pale cypress]

how hard is it to simply not install viruses

[hallow cobalt]

you see

[wanton bobcat]

VS 2022 Community is probably the best way to get started on Windows as a beginner

[hallow cobalt]

i bought a course

[quasi plinth]

ok lets chil

we are overdoing this shi

lets stop texting out of topic

[wanton bobcat]

it's an AV, it just really fucking sucks (both as an AV and as a system resource drain)

[hallow cobalt]

yeah okay

also

[wanton bobcat]

If the course told you winlibs, you probably should get a refund

[hallow cobalt]

is codelite bad?

[crystal torrent]

this, the rest can be on

[wanton bobcat]

yes

[hallow cobalt]

why whats wrong with winlibs?

[wanton bobcat]

It's not the worst, but it's not good by any means

[chrome acorn]

It's not very popular

[quasi plinth]

@hallow cobalt listen I have had similar problems the most important thing is to go into your antivirus and exclude the folder that winlibs also you would wanna have a folder with all your projects and exlcude that folder too from the antivirus

[chrome acorn]

Winlibs is fine, but msys2 beats it because it has a bunch of prebuilt third-party libraries, which beats everything else

[hallow cobalt]

is vsc + msys2 good?

[quasi plinth]

lets get back to the topic please

[quasi plinth]

yes

[wanton bobcat]

This is on topic

[chrome acorn]

I use it (or used to use while I was on Windows), and yes, I think it's the best combo

[quasi plinth]

vim and g++ is also good notepad and online compiler is also good

it doesnt matter

[hallow cobalt]

what if i have touble keeping up with the guy in the course?

[wanton bobcat]

VSC + MSYS2 is decent, though I still recommend VS Community 2022 for beginners. Don't need to worry about how to build or anything like that

[crystal torrent]

NO ITS NOT, he asked why its not working, not why its bad or not which is the best

[quasi plinth]

it kinda isnt

[chrome acorn]

People push for VS all the time because it's easier to configure, but IMO that's not the best criteria 🤷‍♂️

[quasi plinth]

@hallow cobalt just do this and the other stop texting stupid unrelated stuff

[hallow cobalt]

they are here to help me, which they are just let us talk

whats the issue?

[quasi plinth]

cuz this isnt the right place

I mean the right server not the right channel

[wanton bobcat]

Easy to install + Easy to get multi-file builds set up (no need to learn about build tooling) is why I recommend it for beginners. No need to learn about Makefile or VSC tasks

[hallow cobalt]

btw guys

the guy is changing the working directory in code lite

what is that for?

[quasi plinth]

@hallow cobalt is this question answered to you

do you no longer have a question

[wanton bobcat]

The working directory specifies what directory the application will be launched in

[chrome acorn]

It matters if you're working with files in your program, and use relative paths. Probably not too important otherwise.

[crystal torrent]

people here are harrassing literally

[hallow cobalt]

oh so is that important?

idk how to do that

in vsc

[quasi plinth]

yeah

thats why I am asking

is it done

[wanton bobcat]

It's part of the launch json

[quasi plinth]

so I can close this question

and we can move to another channel

[chrome acorn]

Dude, this isn't stackoverflow. No need to limit the conversation to strictly one question

[wanton bobcat]

you can't close the question

[quasi plinth]

@hallow cobalt

[quasi plinth]

@wanton bobcat

[crystal torrent]

we are calling the mods

[hallow cobalt]

🤓

[quasi plinth]

bro just move to another chanel

[hallow cobalt]

@wanton bobcat ?

[wanton bobcat]

Again, you can't. Heisenberg can. It's his forum post. If it diverts from C++, then there's a reason to move channels

[wanton bobcat]

It's part of the launch json

[hallow cobalt]

explain in simple terms please 😭

[quasi plinth]

yeah he can

[crystal torrent]

this guy blocked me but we should call the mods

[quasi plinth]

you guys cant understand anything

[hallow cobalt]

snitches end up in ditches

[hallow cobalt]

dude chill out

[quasi plinth]

but I think anyone can close it

[hallow cobalt]

whats wrong with you?

[wanton bobcat]

Sure. VSC has configuration files defining things like tasks, run commands, etc. launch.json is how VSC knows about different ways to run your programs. Inside that file, there is a list of launch configurations, each defining the current working directory

[crystal torrent]

@hallow cobalt this is the issue, so if you dont want to fix it, then it's up to you

[hallow cobalt]

yeah okay

[harsh reef]

Codelite is decent and light.

[hallow cobalt]

which channel am i supposed to talk in about this?

[quasi plinth]

ok then

[hallow cobalt]

.

[wanton bobcat]

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
      {
          "type": "cppvsdbg",
          "request": "launch",
          "name": "Launch Debug",
          "program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/x64/Debug/sandbox.exe",
          "args": [],
          "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/sandbox",
          "preLaunchTask": "Build Debug",
      }
   ] 
}

Here's one of mine, for example. The "cwd" field defines the [c]urrent [w]orking [d]irectory

[hallow cobalt]

ill just go there

[quasi plinth]

#c-cpp-discussion

[hallow cobalt]

okay

[proud sail]

This thread is turning into a clusterfuck

[wanton bobcat]

#tooling for tooling 🙂

[hallow cobalt]

oh okay

[crystal torrent]

called it, @wanton bobcat should be warned

[hallow cobalt]

bye chat

thanks for the help

!!!!

wait how do i close this

!solved

[red forge]

Thank you and let us know if you have any more questions!

This thread is now set to auto-hide after an hour of inactivity

[proud sail]

!warn @quasi plinth As far as I can tell you were trying to rather forcefully control the conversation which ended up being disruptive and making things heated

[red forge]

Codelazy was warned

Case 4968

[proud sail]

!warn @crystal torrent You also escalated things here and contributed to things getting heated

[red forge]

ADogShit was warned

Case 4969

[proud sail]

As far as I can tell @wanton bobcat was fine, even though IDEs are a divergence from the original question it's not unreasonable to bring up

[crystal torrent]

we were trying to help the actual topic 😭

[proud sail]

That's fine, but don't be disruptive in doing so lol

[harsh reef]

Mind helping out a pirate?

[quasi plinth]

I was just trying to focus the convo on the question and to tell them that they can continue the talking on the #c-cpp-discussion instead of chatting here for offtopic things but whatever I aint here to argue with you whatever you think is right

[hallow cobalt]

snitches end up in ditches

[quasi plinth]

?

[quasi plinth]

what do you mean by that

[hallow cobalt]

you were trying to snitch, you ended up in a ditch

[crystal torrent]

no idea why that happened lol

[quasi plinth]

I actually wasnt trying to snitch

tho

[proud sail]

Maybe don't say stuff like that

[quasi plinth]

just trying to make the place a bit more peacful

but whatever

[proud sail]

It's a bit abrasive

[hallow cobalt]

alr alr mb

@proud sail so i dont close the post?

what am i supposed to do now

i did !solved

anything else?

[quasi plinth]

u did close it

that doesnt mean other people can text on it

[hallow cobalt]

yeah didnt closing it mean deleting the post?

[proud sail]

You're fine

After !solved people can stop talking
